Justice for Versi Kolhi By Advocate Veerji Kolhi and Zemira Eli Natan

Zemira Eli Natan
Executive Director
International Unity for Freedom and Equality


Versi Kolhi is still being held in custody on a false charge of Blasphemy.  Versi and others are being held without bail  because of Landlord attempts to stop Versi from participating as a candidate in the upcoming election.  This fact was explained to Advocate Veerji Kolhi at the the time Versi was taken into custody.  It took the police 22 days to submit a Charge Sheet (Chalan) to the court. This case is clear.  The charge is false  because the Landlords have a political agenda.  Versi is innocent of this charge.  Certainly Versi would not jeopardize his position knowing what the outcome of a charge of Blasphemy involves.  Even the police knew that he was taken into custody on a fake charge.  Everyone is aware of this fact and we will continue to share this incident widely and raise protest until Versi is released from police custody.  Truth is always a victory and we shall have this victory.  IUFE stands with Versi Kolhi and his family and demands that he is released immediately!  WE WILL TAKE EVERY ACTION TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS INTERNATIONALLY TO STOP FALSE CHARGES OF BLASPHEMY FROM CONTINUING AGAINST MINORITIES.  Thank you Advocate Veerji Kolhi for your continued efforts regarding this case.  We look forward to seeing a positive outcome.

****IUFE UPDATE****


"On 17 March during the day of Holi Festival, Police Station Tando Gulam Ali arrested Versi Kolhi and others and charged them with a fake Blasphemy case. From the first day police knew very well that Versi is innocent and they did not submit a charge sheet(Chalan) to the court. From the first day Versi was confined in police custody and now he has been held in custody for 22 days. Today, police did submit a charge sheet (Chalan) to the court. Everybody knows very well that Versi is innocent and he is living 8 Km away from the place of incident....."

"In the past few months in our peaceful Sindh there have been attacks on Temples and Hindus.  One case of Blasphemy has been filed.  We are organizing Protest against Extremism and Destruction of Temples in Sindh."

Political Leader Versi Kolhi was accused of Blasphemy in Sindh, a crime he has not committed.  Advocate Veerji Kolhi has organized protest to release his dear friend from this false charge.  Versi is being held in jail without Bail.  Advocate Veerji Kolhi visits Versi and ensures that Versi is brought food and water and that he is kept in good health.  Many cases have been filed  during these months of stress and assault upon the Hindu Communities in Sindh since the incident of the Larkana Temple Destruction.  We will not be silent until Versi Kolhi is released from custody and in good health.  This prosecution of Versi Kolhi is based on a desire of Landlords to keep Versi from participating as a candidate in the upcoming election.  It is a pressure move on the point of the Landlords to keep the Hindu Community from having a voice or representation for Minorities.  What are the Landlords planning that they need to prosecute an innocent person of such a serious accusation as Blasphemy?  We will be sharing these accusations widely to raise our voices against  Extremism.  It is intolerable to place any person at risk for losing his life on a false charge for wanting only to represent his people.  It does not show strength to oppress those who want to have equal representation.  The Landlords should examine their motives and rather than oppress a community that is an integral part of the society. The landlords should be willing to allow all people to have a voice for the concerns of the community.  No one is silencing the Landlords.  Perhaps it is time they learn the meaning of the same silence they inflict upon others.  IUFE stands with Advocate Veerji Kolhi to stop Extremism and oppression of Minorities.  IUFE Stands withVersi Kolhi and his family in a demand for the immediate release of Versi Kolhi!  WE WILL NOT BE SILENT!






Protest for the Release of Versi Kolhi

WE WILL NOT BE SILENT!
